10 years of The Catalan Institute for the Evaluation of Public Policies (Ivàlua)

The Catalan Institute for the Evaluation of Public Policies (Ivàlua) was created 10 years ago. It's a public institution depending of the Government of Catalonia. The board of trustees is made up of the founding Academic Institutions (UPF), public institutions (Ministry of the Vice-presidency and of the Economy and Finance, DIBA, CTESC, CIC)

Ivalua promotes the evaluation of public policies among the Catalan public administrations, non-profit entities that pursue objectives that are of public interest and among citizens in general,

The evaluation is a tool for improving government performance and democratic accountability. To accomplish its mission, Ivàlua is guided by the following strategic lines:

• Evaluation of public policies and advisory activities
• Training and generation of training resources
• Promotion and dissemination of evaluation

Ivàlua has traditionally and naturally specialised in social policies, employment policies and educational policies (in this field jointly with Fundació Jaume Bofill they are promoting the #WhatWorks in Education movement)

All the activities done during these 10 years have been done with Independence, Technical Rigor to generate evidence and with maximum Transparency at all times. In their website you can download all the Evaluations carried.

Congratulations!!!
